Forward Head Posture

     Posture examination of the imaginary line that are utilizing and center of gravity of the body, the ear deliğimizin, requires that the level of mid-point of the shoulder. Deviation of the head to come forward in front of the head of this misaligned posture (forward head posture) is called. According to shoulder standing in front of the head and neck with a 2.5-cm difference in ride leads to a load of 5 kg extra spine. Especially people who had some extra time at the computer, long-term vehicle users, those with the habit of reading in bed and putting a pillow under his head, hand, or that the person who made ahead of time, such as individuals suffering from long-term head, head first posture develops over time. According to research, 65 to 90% of the population were found to be in this situation. Extra load caused by the influence of gravity, prepares the ground for neck hernia, causing damage to the neck vertebrae. Only a difference of 2.5 cm, from bed in the morning when you wake up, during the period until slept again in your mind, which means you move a weight of 5 pounds. This is something that can predict how the situation uncomfortable.
     Stance ahead of a long-term deal to come forward because of the shoulders, head and arms inward turns to go forward. Backs coming forward going back in the upper part of the head, spine and pelvis consists of curvature of the anterior tilt to compensate for all these developments to make the movement of the so-called lean forward and leads to the waist çukurlaşmasına. This situation leads to low back pain in the future can not be found due. In the same way weakening the muscles of the upper respiratory resulted in decreased lung capacity creates. This situation may be accompanied by headaches and jaw joint problems do not go away.
     Long-term, fixed-per-leading positions in which to avoid the most effective prevention methods. We gotta move our necks, short breaks, giving long-term jobs.
     Which is composed of postural disorders, head, neck and back pain without causing the situation should be focusing on the detection and correction. The most effective treatment method manuplatif osteopathic procedures. Sağlamaktayım with patients with complete resolution with manual therapy.

Scoliosis Treatment

Sounds, a fear of encountering for the first time with a diagnosis of scoliosis. What kind of a disease? What will happen now? Further advances? Investigated a little more the following days, surgery is a disease that need to be learned and, inevitably elicited types of surgery is attempted. We investigate a larger containers insides fear. Then you should visit to the doctor on the hospital and what a research process begins.     Yes, if you go far if scoliosis is a condition that requires orthopedic surgery. Before and after surgery is quite a difficult process. However, early detected and osteopathic manual therapy is applied fairly good results.     Osteopathic previous article, I tried to explain what it is. If we look at what to do with scoliosis osteopathic point of view, different from the classical approach to physical therapy, scoliosis treated as three-dimensional. A three-dimensional condition and treatment of scoliosis be planned accordingly.     If you try to visualize, through the center of the body has a spine and hips, forming the lower end of the spine pelvis (pelvis) associated with. Have connected to the legs and pelvic area. There are still the backbone of the ribs in the upper area of ​​the spine with the eklemleşen, linking arms to them in some way. In the top of the spine associated with kafatasımızla. So the fact that we are continuing our lives all around the spine bedenimizle. Under these circumstances affecting the entire body disorders of the spine posture. Only scoliosis of the spine to the right and / or left slope, but the rotation around its own axis of rotation (rotation) are also deformity. This condition is called rotoskolyoz. Progress in the process of bending and rotation of the spine, which takes place from side to side, with structures associated with all of these tissues (facial tissue) tensions begin to form. The spine is tilted to the right or to the left, shortening, and the spine concave on the side away from the tissues, tissues convex on the side of the spine to lengthen and begin to approach. And with further shortening of the tissues tend to shortened hip bone before the hip joint and the foot to the bottom of the region, then it begins to reflect the effect of shortening. However, scoliosis is not only because of the shortened tissues. Shortened tissues led to a further shortening of the spine to bend more extended further elongating tissues contributes to this situation. In a sense, the tissues around the spine into a vicious circle. While these changes in the body tissues as a result of the curvature of the spine to compensate for the opposite direction of slope 2 more of a slope occurs. Mostly C begins to take shape in the form of the S slope begins. The purpose of this, the center of gravity to balance the displaced. Which is concave in the same period on the back side of the ribs is convex closer to each other, they begin to move away from each other. If rotation to be added to the spine, the ribs in the same direction of rotation during the rotary movement of the spine joint occurs. In this case, of course, also affected by the shoulder blade and shoulders. Of course, such a development does not show any scoliosis. In some cases, such as the progression of scoliosis can stand in some cases, there are going fast. For this reason, follow-up in patients with scoliosis scoliosis is very önemlidir.Belli controls forward speed intervals to be determined.     In the light of this, of course, only the spine for scoliosis initiatives to be corrected. In the treatment of scoliosis manuplatif tried to shorten shortened tissues, such as the extension of tissue extending from the shoulders, ribs and hips and feet down the changes that are formed and eliminated. Only drawback of this method of treatment for patients with long-lasting. Not only in theory but also in practice as I see it, the manuplatif early and spending the time necessary treatment, surgery in patients with stage has not, for the moment seems to be the only option.

Muscle Imbalance

     The right and left halves of the body is symmetrical to each other. This symmetry, due to a balanced body work more efficiently, have emerged during evolution. There are many muscles in our body. Some of these muscles to keep balance yararken part of us is responsible for the motions. These muscles around the joints, which stuck to the point of sticking place and responsibility however a variety of movements. In general, a group that provides joint motion in a certain direction muscle, balance and movement in the opposite direction, which are a different muscle group. For example, the biceps muscle, the muscles dirseğimizden büktüğümüzde folded arms, which can make the movement of this muscle, balance, and vice versa (folded arms and allowing us to open the elbow joint) muscle triceps muscle. However, we think these two for the elbow joint to the muscle force, as well as the tensions in length and must be in balance. Joint, muscle or muscle group to move in one direction is low, or vice versa, for various reasons the result of strengthened joint doğurur.Bir muscle imbalance to move in that direction leads to a very kasıldıysa joint and restricts movement in the opposite direction. This imbalance leads to the installation progresses, additions stress. After a while, this unbalanced state of the muscles leads to the formation of pain in joints. The following figure and balance that leads to a joint action should be different for the two muscle schematically viewing.

     Remained in the same position for a long time, especially in a period of time during movements tend to use more muscle, which is a group. When we are forced to stay at a computer for long periods, for example, shoulders and heads to bring forward the tense muscles that keep a long-term basis. This situation results in shortening of the muscles in question. It also allows the movement of the shoulders and heads and vice versa (the shoulder and allows us to take back our heads) and kuvvetsizleşmesi outcome of prolonged lengths of the muscles would be revealed. If we carry the same work more muscles are shortened, shortening the muscles stretching more they are likely to elongation and muscle imbalance occurs when we call.

     Muscle imbalance, posture is one of the factors that contribute to the formation of disorder. After a while the muscles are unbalanced compensate for their desire and effort will become. This situation is to be settled derranged posture. After this stage, the only solution is formed by manual therapy to correct the posture disorders.

     Dr.Janda muscle imbalances may develop depending on the disorder was described by three basic posture. These upper cross syndrome (upper cross syndrome), lower cross syndrome (lower cross syndrome) and layer syndrome. The next article, I will touch on these disorders, and methods of osteopathic approach.

What is Health Psychology?

     Health and disease no longer just a health facility and physician aid in excess of the dimensions, many of the variable appears to be an area that should be considered together. This is necessarily multi-faceted information, quality of service and qualified people, requiring a physical presence in front of us is an individual defined as a patient recognizes that beyond the psychological and social work, which means a biopsychosocial model.

     Today, with increased survival of chronic (chronic) diseases and aging-related diseases is increasing. An important role in the emergence of psychological and social factors that may be encountered by long time diabetes, heart, kidney and diseases such as cancer treatment, the patient is important to effective collaboration with the treatment team. All this is not only the individual patient, his family, handled and examined the psychological and social aspects of contemporary health care mandates require. In such a situation, the concept of health psychology and medical services as well as work methods inevitable. So today, closely followed by the mental state of people with physical illness can be.

     Today, more dialysis centers services in the field of health psychology, diabetes centers, oncology centers, IVF centers, pain centers, neurology, pediatrics and pediatric surgery clinics are provided. Unfortunately, there is regarded as a psychologist in all centers. However, in many areas of health psychologist needs. For example, dermatology clinics or stress that the general problem, depending on the appearance of the resulting skin diseases, orthopedic clinics, amputation (limb cut off for various reasons) for a long time bedridden patients or patients with fracture healing, eye clinics, patients who are losing vision, or this process, urology received a kidney dialysis clinics and living in fear or impotence (impotence) in patients with ear, nose and throat clinics tracheostomy (hole in order to take breath throat opening) pop-up or patients who are diagnosed with cancer, plastic surgery clinics, for various reasons hospitalized due to burns, ears, nose, such as losing limbs patients, patients with cardiovascular surgery, heart transplant, and every department of the hospital as it is newly diagnosed or treated the patient and the patient's family how the needs of the service is also very spiritual. Stupefied, afraid, sad, "Why me? Why book with us? "He had started to ask, or no longer lives in desperation, and hope to feel going on. Right at this moment working in the field of health psychological services provided by a psychologist or psychiatrist person, family, or just a dead end where the individual patient care, which has a very important role in breathing. Unfortunately, the traditional practice of medicine can be ignored emotions experienced by the patient and his family are just sick "organ" çalışılabilmekte improvement, forgotten people. Both the intensity of patients, both due to various reasons such as lack of education and individual factors that organ by health care professionals that there is a body, then the body is a spirit, and social life of an asset, which can be neglected. Chronic (persistent), an organ which will make compliance with treatment when the diagnosis is not human. Persons other than the patient should be noted that this process will be affected.

     Health psychology is widely known, perhaps for the first arises "Come on, do we need such a thing, my dear, of course, the patient and family will be disappointed, this is normal. Is it easy to get diagnosed with the disease, lost, or hear an organ does not work, "he thought may occur. However, in cancer patients, especially psychological service life of the people living longer, recurrence is less than a proven fact. Although intense stress or living in a disease, excessive eating, people who use alcohol or cigarettes "barley death of the horse, whether it's to eat this 3-day around the world are already experiencing stress," I say. But here, "Why would a person working to self-destruct?" "Why do not you prepare an old age will be poor conditions in terms of health?" Questions should not be entirely inappropriate.
